LENS SYSTEM Filed Aug. 27, 1942 INVENTOR /V4 THA/V GOTTA/EB Sead1 Patented Nov. 28, 1944 LENS SYSTEM Nathan Gottlieb, Bufl'aio, N. Y., assignor to Spencer Lens Company, Buflaio, N. Y., a corporation of NewYork Application August 27, 1942, Serial No. 456,439 1 Claim. (01. 88-57) This invention relates to lenses and more par ticularly to high aperture projection or photographic objectives.

It is an object of the invention to provide a high aperture objective of the planar type which is corrected for lateral color, curvature of field, distortion, coma and spherical aberration and obliquespherical aberration.

It is another object of the invention to provide an f/2.0 lens which is of relatively simple and economical construction.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing and it will be seen that many changes may be made in the details of construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as expressed in the accompanying claim. I therefore do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction and arrangement of parts shown and described as the preferred form has been shown by way of illustration only.

Referring to the drawing, the single figure is a sectional view showing a lense system embodying the invention.

The specifications corresponding to the accompanying drawing are as follows:

In the figure, the successive radii of curvature,

counting from the front are designated R1, R2, etc., the sign denoting that the curve is convex toward the incident light, and that it is concave toward the same. The axial thickness of the elements are denoted by t1, ta, ta, etc., and the separations of the components by S1, S: and S3. The material is defined in terms of the mean Abb v number is tortion, spherical aberration and oblique spher-\ ical aberration and coma and gives a relatively flat field.

It is further pointed out that as the construction of the system is relatively simple that it therefore provides an economical high speed arrangement.

From the foregoing it will be seen'that I have provided simple, eflicient and economical construction for an f/2.0 planar type objective hav ing a high speed and high aperture.

Having described my invention, I claim:

A lens system of the character described com-. prising four axial components, the second and third of which are cemented doublets, and having substantially the numerical data set forth in the following table wherein R1 R2 designate the radii of the successive lens surfaces counting from the front 251 is the axial thickness of the individual elements and S1, S2 and $3 the axial air separations, No the mean refractive index and v the Abb 1 number,
